Sketchbook

Since I was a kid creating characters on paper, clay or in my imagination is all I ever wanted to do. It was not until I was about 18 years old that I got my first sketchbook as a birthday present from my parents. Since then I have always kept one with me. Click below to view a few characters from my sketchbook that are in the process of being sculpted in 3D and and prepared for production and gaming.

My name is Julio Salvat. Born to Colombian parents in Atlanta, GA I spent the majority of my life in the south Florida sun. My passion for art and design surfaced early on in my childhood and had my head firmly planted in my countless sketch books. Growing up with a programmer for a father my view of technology was skewed. Couldn’t everybody’s dad network the family computers together and program unique software? It wasn’t until I saw my neighbor throw his desktop out the window that I realized that may not be the case. It wasn’t that my neighbor was stupid. Computers were just not geared towards your average Joe. Over the years the industry has grown and more and more people have become “computer savvy”. This expanded market has forced programmers to think outside the box and develop ways for even the most computer illiterate to be able to run programs.

Knowing that computers and technology was to be the future I began to harness my creative and artistic abilities in an effort to express my art through technology. In this age of technological advancement we are seeing fanciful dreams of science fiction becoming reality. Every day, machines are being integrated into our daily lives and the dealings that people have with these machines are becoming more in depth and interactive. If ten years ago I would have told you that I wrote this statement of purpose on my phone you would have considered me a lunatic. Not only is this possible today but is available on almost any smart phone. Interactive design is a critical element for the future of our society. With truly creative and friendly interactive design we can prevent people from becoming obsolete. No matter how complex our technology becomes well planned user experiences can let even the most novice of us operate. It’s this passion for technology and communication which has driven me dedicate the rest of my days to User Interface Design & Development.

“With the most primitive means the artist creates something which the most ingenious and efficient technology will never be able to create.” Kasimir Malevich
